DESCRIPTION:
"CHALLENGING AND VERY INTERESTING" according to Jerry Blimbaum. I really like the collection of problems this text offersI am retired and enjoy spending my time working on difficult physics problems.Let me add, I am a long time Mathematica user so I am not trying to do this with pencil and paperThe problems, at least for me, are still difficult but having some kind of symbolic software does helpAlso
They include vectors, tensors and Fourier transformations, dielectric waves in media, natural optical activity, Cherenkov radiation, non-linear interaction of waves, dynamics of ideal fluids, convection, turbulence and acoustic and shock waves, the theory of elasticity and the mechanics of liquid crystals.. Topics are grouped under the two main headings of fluid mechanics and the electrodynamics of continuous media. Aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students in physics and applied mathematics, this textbook has been constructed as a set of problems followed by detailed solutions. With its assortment of standard problems for beginners, variations on a theme and original problems based upon new trends and theories in physics, the book aims to help students understand practical aspects of the subject
"An excellent collection of problems." -- Contemporary Physics"Most books containing sets of problems with detailed solutions probably do not get reviewed - a situation which is in keeping with the albeit useful, but uninspired content of the majority. So do I recommend it? Emphatically, yes!" -- From the Publisher. Such books are typically bought by students who are attempting to bolster their confidence or patch over weaknesses, and by overworked lecturers who either need new class material or must replace old stock to which the student entrepreneurs literally have all the answers. Professor Vekstein's book is not run-of-the-mill, or it will not meet any of these needs well
